There are no right or wrong answers here. Everyone has different tastes & different things that get them excited about cars. That said... IF you could have any car in the world (real car, not something sci-fi like a landspeeder or a Delorean with a flux capacitor) from any year in mint condition, what would you want to drive? Money is no object, whatever you pick is yours at no cost.

I think I would still just drive a pick-up truck for day to day use. But, there are a few weekend cars I would covet...

1) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS, black. My neighbor has one, and it is gorgeous.

2) 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage convertible (James Bond car)

3) 1961 Ferarri 250 California GT Spyder

Old American muscle I would go with a 68/68 firebird or Camaro.

If it was a new car I would go with the Bugatti Veyron.

I already have mine. 67 Camaro, It's torn apart in the garage right now. It has a 350, .30 over, with a turbo 350 auto. I'm trying to get the brother of a friend to sell me one of his 454bb, and convert the car to 5 speed standard shift.

I really like my Volvo S60, but lately I've been thinking about a VW Golf Turbo Diesel ... reportedly a quiet and reasonably smooth ride, great fuel economy, smallish - easy to park in the city, not flashy....

So there is no Sally Field option? :(

Your Audi Spyder is a nice one. A Porsche Carrera would be great too.

I live downtown (and love it), but without a garage or off-street parking, what works for me is something uber-utilitarian and not flashy. I wouldn't want anything that I'd have to worry about. A turbo diesel VW Golf would fit the bill, I think.

Those were well built back in the day. Also how many of us learned to drive a stick on one of those? I did. Some of the old VW buses are collectors items and fetch a pretty good chunk of change.

If I ever were to buy a super sports car, the Ford GT would be it. (I think they retailed for only $150k to compared to it's competitors at over $200k each) It's is a terrible shame they quit making them. Guess people couldn't get past the Ford name. That too is a shame as it was the BOSS of all super sports cars during it's production. It's crazy that it had a Ford Lighting truck block in it. :laugh2:

The GT40 was way to small. I could probably get in it, but then I think that guy in the video is like 6'4. I'm not quite that tall.
